Introduction

The
SFP, SFP+, and XFP
modules are hot-swappable I/O devices that plug into a line card
port to link the port with the fiber optic network. For all cards, the type of
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules that is plugged into the card is
displayed in Cisco Transport Controller (CTC).

Pluggable Port
Modules (PPMs)

The following table
lists PPMs with their categories, card supported, descriptions, TAN number and
temperature range.

SFP and SFP+
Description and Specifications

The SFP modules are
integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide high speed serial links from a
port or slot to the network. The SFP+ transceiver is an enhancement over the
SFP optics developed for 1 Gbps Ethernet and 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps Fibre
Channel. The SFP+ modules extend the data rate up to 11.10 Gbps. SFP+ modules
also provide 2-wire serial, I2C interface. The I2C interface is used for serial
ID, digital diagnostics, and module control functions.

Various latching
mechanisms can be utilized on the SFP and SFP+ modules. There is no correlation
between the type of latch and the model type (such as SX or LX/LH) or
technology type (such as Gigabit Ethernet). See the label on the SFP and SFP+
modules for technology type and model. One type of latch available is a mylar
tab as shown in
Figure 1, a
second type of latch is an actuator/button (Figure 2), and
the third type of latch is a bail clasp (Figure 3 and
Figure 4).

The
maximum allowable Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) penalty at 30 ps
differential group delay (DGD) is 1dB of optical power in Power Limited
condition or 1 dB of OSNR in Noise Limited condition, when the residual CD is 0
ps/nm (BTB condition).

The
maximum allowable PMD penalty at 15 ps DGD is 1dB of optical power in Power
Limited condition or 1 dB of OSNR in Noise Limited condition, when the residual
CD is 1100 ps/nm (System condition).

The XFP integrates
the receiver and transmit path. The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10
Gbps serial data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser driver biases and
modulates a 1310 nm DFB (distributed feedback) laser, enabling data
transmission over SMF through an LC connector. The receive side recovers and
retimes the 10 Gbps optical data stream from a positive-intrinsic-negative
(PIN) photo detector, transimpedance amplifier and passes it to an output
driver.

The XFP module uses
the bail clasp latching mechanism as shown unlatched in the following figures.
See the label on the XFP for technology type and model.

Warning

SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules are Class I laser products.
Statement 1008

Warning

Invisible laser
radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or
connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments.
Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye
loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an
eye hazard. Statement 1056

Warning

Ultimate disposal
of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations. Statement 1040

Warning

Use of controls,
adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

Warning

During this
procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not
directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could
shock yourself. Statement 94

Warning

Before you
install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety
Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before
working with the system.

Warning

Only trained and
qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment. Statement 148

Warning

To comply with
the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and
safety, for Ethernet RJ-45 ports, use only shielded Ethernet cables that are
grounded on both ends. In a NEBS installation, all Ethernet ports are limited
to intra-building wiring. Statement 7012

Warning

Ethernet ports
are intra-building ports and are suitable only for connecting to shielded
cabling grounded at both ends. Statement 1084

Caution

Do not use
SFP,
SFP+, and XFP modules from third-party vendors. Cisco TAC does not support
third-party vendor
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules. A third-party vendor
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules is any
SFP, SFP+, or XFP module that is not sourced from Cisco
directly, or via a Cisco Partner, or Cisco authorized seller. Cisco-sourced
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules can be identified by the Cisco
label and logo.

Purpose

This task
installs, provisions, and deletes PPMs (SFP, SFP+, and XFP
modules) on the line cards. Because
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules are hot-swappable, they can be
installed and removed while the card/shelf assembly is powered and running.

Warning

SFP,
SFP+, and XFP modules are Class I laser products. Statement 1008

Warning

Because
invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no
cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into
open apertures. Statement 70

Warning

Ultimate
disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations. Statement 1040

Warning

Use of
controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may
result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

Warning

To comply with
the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and
safety, connect the serial high-speed WAN interface ports only to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cable. The intrabuilding cable must be
shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends. The intra-building
port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed
for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described
in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The
addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. Statement 7003

Note

In case of a
full C-band tunable XFP, it is mandatory to use optical cables that are fully
compliant with NEBS Telcordia GR-326-CORE, Issue 3 recommendation.

Procedure

Step 1

Verify that
the
SFP,
SFP+, or XFP module is correct for your network. Ensure that you are
installing compatible
SFP,
SFP+, or XFP module, for example, SX to SX or LX/LH to LX/LH.

Step 2

Remove the PPM
from its protective packaging.

Step 3

Check the label
to verify that the PPM is the correct type for your network.

Step 4

Install the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module. Perform the following:

Note

Use deep
doors when ONS-SC+-10G-C pluggables are installed on a
shelf.

Plug the LC
duplex connector of the fiber into the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module.

If you are
installing
ONS-SC-E1-T1-CES or ONS-SC-E3-T3-CESSFP, set the dual
in-line package (DIP) switches to the desired operation mode as specified in
the following table.

The
ONS-SC-E1-T1-CES and
ONS-SC-E3-T3-CES SFPs include a 2-section DIP switch used to select one of
the following working modes of the device:

Database
initialization

Normal
operation (default setting)

Software
download

Configuration

On the
underside of the
ONS-SC-E1-T1-CES or ONS-SC-E3-T3-CES SFP, set the DIP
switches as listed in the following table to enable the desired working mode.

If the new
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module has a latch, close the latch over the cable to secure it.

Plug the
cabled
SFP, SFP+, or XFPinto
the slot until it clicks.

For a
mylar tab
SFP, SFP+, or
XFP—Slide the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP into
the slot.

For an
actuator/button
SFP, SFP+, or
XFP—Slide the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP all
the way into the slot.

For a
bail clasp
SFP, SFP+, or
XFP—Latch (flip upwards) the bail clasp before inserting the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP into
the slot and then slide it into the slot.

A click
indicates that the
SFP,
SFP+, or XFP module is locked into the port. In a noisy environment the
click may not be audible. Verify that the
SFP,
SFP+, or XFP is in locked position by carefully pulling it without
touching the release latch. If the
SFP,
SFP+, or XFP is locked, it does not come out.

Caution

To avoid
loss of traffic due to incorrect locking of the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module, ensure that it is locked properly.

SFP,
SFP+, or XFP modules must be provisioned in CTC. If you install a
multirate PPM, complete the
DLP-G726 Preprovisioning a Multirate PPM task. (Single-rate XFPs do
not need to be provisioned in CTC.)

Step 5

Return to your
originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-G724 Connecting
Single-Mode and Multimode Optical Fiber

To connect the
single-mode or multimode optical fiber, attach the appropriate optical fiber
cable directly to the SC-type receptacle on the
LC-type connector on the SFP, SFP+, or XFP module. You can use
either simplex or duplex connectors for most devices. For simplex connectors,
two cables are required, one cable for transmit (Tx) and a second cable for
receive (Rx). For duplex connectors, only one cable that has both Tx and Rx
connectors is required.

Purpose

This task
connects the single-mode or multimode optical fiber for
SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules installed on the line cards.

SFP,
SFP+, and XFP modules are generically called PPMs in CTC. After installing
multirate
SFP, SFP+, and XFP
modules, multirate PPMs must be provisioned in CTC. To complete the
provisioning of the multirate pluggable port, complete the
DLP-G726 Preprovisioning a Multirate PPM task.

Procedure

Step 1

In node view
(single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the card
where you want to provision PPM settings.

PPM—Choose
the slot number where the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP module is installed, from the drop-down
list.

PPM
Type—Choose the number of ports supported by your
SFP, SFP+, or XFP module, from the drop-down list. The
drop-down list displays the number of PPMs that are available for provisioning.
If only one port is supported, PPM (1 port) is the only option.

Step 5

Click
OK. The newly created port appears in the Pluggable
Port Modules pane. The row in the Pluggable Port Modules pane turns light blue.
The Actual Equipment Type column remains blank until the actual
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module is installed. After the
SFP, SFP+, or XFP
module is installed, the row in the pane turns white and the Actual Equipment
Type column shows the equipment name.

Note

For
ONS-SC-E1-T1-CES and
ONS-SC-E3-T3-CES SFPs, set the port rate as FE.

Step 6

Verify that the
PPM appears in the list in the Pluggable Port Modules pane. If it does not,
repeat
Step Step 3 through
Step Step 5.

In node view
(single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf view), double-click the line card
where you want to provision the multirate PPM settings.

Step 2

If this is the
first multirate PPM provisioned for the card, continue with
Step 3. If not,
complete the following steps.

Click the
Provisioning >
Line >
SONET (ANSI) or
SDH (ETSI) tabs.

Locate the
Trunk port table row and verify that the Service State column value is
OOS-MA,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked-enabled,disabled (ETSI). If yes, continue with
Step 3. If not,
continue with the following step.

Click the
Admin State table cell and choose
OOS-MA,DSBLD (ANSI) or
Locked-enabled,disabled.

In node view
(single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf view), double-click the line card
where you want to delete PPM settings.

Step 2

Verify that the
PPM port Service State is OOS,DSBLD.

Step 3

Click the
Provisioning >
Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

Step 4

To delete a PPM
and the associated ports, perform the following:

In the
Pluggable Port Modules area, click the PPM that you want to delete. The
highlight changes to dark blue.

Click
Delete. The Delete PPM dialog box appears.

Click
Yes. The PPM provisioning is removed from the
Pluggable Port Modules area and the Pluggable Ports area.

Note

You
cannot delete a PPM until its port is in the OOS,DSBLD state. You cannot delete
a client port if the client is in the In Service and Normal (IS-NR) service
state, is in a protection group, has a generic communications channel (GCC) or
data communications channel (DCC), is a timing source, has circuits or overhead
circuits, or transports Link Management Protocol channels or links. You can
delete a client port (except the last port) if the trunk port is in service and
the client port is in the OOS,DSBLD service state. You can delete the last
client port only if the trunk port is in a OOS,DSBLD (ANSI) service state for
all the cards. For more information about port states, see the
Administrative and Service
States document.

Step 5

Verify that the
PPM provisioning is deleted:

In the card
view, CTC shows an empty port after the PPM is deleted.

If the PPM
is physically present when you delete the PPM provisioning, CTC transitions to
the deleted state, the ports (if any) are deleted, and the PPM is represented
as a gray graphic in CTC. The PPM can be provisioned again in CTC, or the
equipment can be removed. If the equipment is removed, the graphic disappears.
